Heyman: Trevor Rogers Trade Market Heating Up?

[Matthew Trueblood]

Jon Heyman reports that the Marlins' enormous lefty has a warming trade market. All his recent trend markers are in the wrong direction--ugly stats this year, velocity and strikeout rate moving in the wrong direction, finally healthy but with a spotty injury history--but Rogers is under team control two more years after this one. 

The 2021 All-Star and Rookie of the Year runner-up hasn't looked the same in any season since, but he has a unique arsenal and release point, including both a four-seamer and a sinker with a ton of arm-side movement. He'd be a fascinating target for the Brewers, who do so well with such development projects. As Heyman notes, though, he wouldn't come cheaply. This would have to be a case of the organization believing they could work their magic with him right away, in a big way.

High risk, high reward type of guy.  Personally, the risk is too.................risky to be giving up our top prospects.

I know our pitching lab could come into play with a guy like this, but I'd rather let other teams take the risk, not us.

I am shocked the prospect hugging Orioles made this trade.  That is some decent firepower heading to the Marlins.
